In Cobham today

So that's one of just 19 made I believe. A rare spot indeed.

RS Williams the classic Aston specialist is located a few streets away. Coincidence?

Exactly, theres always a few nice Astons milling around there but this was even better than usual!

It appears to be rebodied DB4 GT 0147/R. I posted this on the super cars spotted thread.

From an Aston to a Singer … no, not that Singer ….

Two spots on the way home from work today - a mint green metallic 1969 / 70 Mustang Grande outside the local bodyshop and a minute or two later a slightly modified yellow Mk2 Escort, both very welcome sights.

Z8 - not sure I've seen a wild one before

Haven’t seen one of these in a while, sounded good

That is a great spot. Wanted one for years, would look great in yellow I reckon...

Saw this yesterday evening - and a bubble arched mk1 Escort with twin cam badges.

Same garage a little later

The only time I saw one was in Puerto Pollensa Majorca.

Genuine DB4 GT's fetching between $2m & $4m, DB4 based Zagato "re-creations" fetching around $2m. I suspect it would now be worth more in it's original form.

[LotusOmega375D]

I agree.

I had a 72 Cortina with them on. Once adjusted they eliminate the rear3/4 blind spot that you get with door mounted mirrors, they are in your field of vision so keeping track of what is behind you is easy and no need to turn your head or refocus, the major adjustment you require is mental as due to their convex nature objects appear more distant and fast approaching vehicles will pass you much quicker than you might think.

Why did they move back to the door? Presumably because it looks a bit neater and they're easier to adjust/can be made adjustable from within the car. But with electric adjustment they could just as easily be down the wing again, in cool fairings.

Nissan Autechre Zagato Stelvio has wing mirrors in 'cool fairings'!

Nice Ranchero at my local Tesco recently.

Is that like the car in Goldfinger?

Amazing, my Mum had a silver auto one in the early 2000s
